    Summary

    After Tartarus and the war with Gaea, Percy Jackson vanishes—grieving, exhausted, and done with the gods who met his pain with silence. At nineteen, he turns up in Gotham City, the one place Olympus won’t touch.

    Living alone in Crime Alley and repeating his final year of school, Percy hides both his powers and his past. But Gotham doesn’t let anyone rest.

    Summary

    After his mother’s death, Percy is forced to move in with his wealthy uncle in Gotham. Luckily for him, he only has to survive one year under the same roof before he can move out and disappear again.

    The Waynes, however, are completely overwhelmed. Why can’t they seem to handle their newest family member—one who’s clearly a traumatized cult member? And more confusing still: why does Percy seem to know so many people, both in and out of Gotham?

    Summary

    ❝ thanatophobia:
    (n.) the phobia of losing someone you love ❞

    • • •

    This must've been the first dream about that night in many years. The first night terror in a month or two, actually. Percy was twenty-one now, years after the end of both wars and over a decade after that wretched night. However, he knew the ending scenes of his dream were far from what really happened. While he would have liked to introduce Gabe to the wrath of Medusa earlier, that only happened after his first quest. At ten years old after his mother's death, Percy did not stand up at fight. He ran. He ran and ran and ran until he collapsed in an alleyway, near ready to follow his mother's descent. He may have been successful, if he hadn't met Gotham's Dark Knight. Percy sat up in his bed, his memories effectively pushing the sleep from his system. Batman had scooped him up and whispered promises of a better life, one with his friend Bruce Wayne. Percy could never recollect how he ended up in a plush bed inside Wayne Manor that same night, or how he ended up joining the coveted Wayne family. All he knew of was the gentle hands of their butler tending to his wounds and the warm smiles of Bruce Wayne and his other ward: Dick Grayson.

    Summary

    Percy sighs. “You think some fucked up crime city in New Jersey is the perfect place for me to lay low and stay out of trouble?”

    “Divine trouble? Greek trouble?” Chiron nods, stroking his chin gravely. Percy’s pretty sure he’s only doing it for dramatic affect. “Oh yes, Percy. Mortal trouble? You are unfortunately on your own for that, I’m afraid. As long as you avoid the Batman, you should be fine.”

    Percy stares at him.

    “The Batman is real?” He asks finally, afraid of the answer. Chiron just turns back to the fire again, though Percy definitely saw a twinkle in his eye. Stupid old horse.

    (Or, Percy Jackson needs to get away from it all. Unfortunately, it doesn't want to get away from him. Was anyone going to tell him the Batman is real?)

    Summary

    Annabeth peered through the peep-hole and found a man in a black suit and dark sunglasses waiting outside. She blinked in surprise before opening the door, making sure her sword arm was hidden behind it. There was still a chance this could be a monster, but she didn’t want to take the risk of scaring a mortal with whatever the Mist made them see, especially a mortal who looked like a government official.

    “Good morning, Miss,” the man smiled politely, stretching out his hand. “I am Phil Coulson, an agent of SHIELD. Is this the residence of Perseus Jackson?”
